Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chypre Rouge Eau de Parfum

Chypre Rouge is a truly divisive Serge Lutens creation, with fans raving about its unique artistry and detractors comparing it to cough syrup or curry. It's an acquired taste, but if you're brave enough, it offers a mysterious journey through a dark, sweet forest.

Our Verdict - Ta'if Eau de Parfum

A bold rose-saffron-honey combo, Gallivant's Ta'if has stirred up quite the fuss in certain circles. Is it a copy or a clever homage? That's up to you to decide, but don't knock it until you've actually smelled it.

Season and Occasion Fit

Chypre Rouge Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Also Works:

Date

Given its strong, often intense profile and the many comparisons to medicinal syrups or deep forests, this isn't an office-friendly scent. Its unique, bold character makes it better suited for dates or cooler weather casual wear, where its unusual charm can be appreciated, but it's too much for active or overtly formal settings.

Ta'if Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Also Works:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its prominent rose, warm spicy, and amber accords make it a bit much for the office or sport. However, its bold and luxurious character is perfectly suited for date nights and formal events, commanding attention without being overwhelming.
